Erithian
|
Erithians are a race that arrived on Elanthia through mysterious means. Their recorded history dates back to year 3600 of the Modern Era, when they were transported to the continent of Atan Irith, across the sea to the northeast of the Elven Nations.
Their physical appearance is similar to the half-elves, taller than the average human and with slightly pointed ears. Their skin tone tends to be light, sometimes even translucently pale, and their hair is commonly white or silver-grey, swept back from their foreheads to give a balding impression. Their eyes are almond-shaped, often with slitted pupils.

Political structure
The Erithi government system, which was officially set into law some six hundred years ago by the noted scholar Ertaia Selem, was not technically matriarchal -- though many outsiders mistook it for such -- as it was based on age and wisdom rather than bloodlines.
The Erithi have not developed an advanced political structure, having really had no need for one, and the decision-making of the local town councils is the extent of government influence in everyday life. Although there is a central council of representatives from the outlying villages in Eloth-Ra, its control over the region is not strict.
The Erithi tend to be peaceful and not prone to internal conflicts, perhaps because of their lack of enemies other than the creatures of the wilds and the environment, so their political troubles are few, simple, and local. In the year 5028, Maemi Kurieiko, was appointed as the matriarch.
